The Media-fire.org pop-up ads are misleading notifications that may try to trick you into installing a video player or register to the online server and watch an unlimited number of high-quality movies. Even though such activity seems harmless, security experts warn that Media-fire.org ads are caused by an adware-type program that has also been categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). It is compatible with all most popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. In most of the cases, it spreads around bundled with various freewares and gets inside without being noticed. Once installed, it hijacks all web browsers and starts delivering Media-fire.org pop-up ads. As security experts have found out, it is affiliated with video streaming service VideoStripe.com. Thus, in most of the cases, those popups will reroute you to this site and will try to make you install this program. In addition to that, you may sometimes receive misleading software update alerts that may report about missing Java, Flash Player, Media Player, web browser, etc. No matter how convincing they may seem, never click on them as they may be filled with installers of other unwanted programs. In addition to that, Media-fire.org-related adware may also use tracking cookies and track your online activities. All in all, this adware is not malicious but may seriously disrupt your web browsing activities by causing continuous redirects to unknown domains and delivering tricky pop-up ads. If you are in this situation right now, we recommend you to employ Reimage and get rid of Media-fire.org pop-up virus right now.

How can Media-fire.org hijack my computer?

Media-fire.org popups are caused by an adware-type program. If you are receiving suspicious pop-up advertisements and experiencing redirects to affiliate websites right now, then it seems that you have recently installed a freeware and failed to opt out of additional components. To be more precise, for spreading Media-fire.org-related adware its developers employ 'bundling' marketing and distribution technique that allows filling various freewares with 'optional downloads', such as add-ons, plug-ins, toolbars, and extensions. Unfortunately, in most of the cases those components appear to be suspicious third-party applications that seek to generate income for their developers via affiliate marketing. In order to prevent installation of such and similar programs, you have to be careful with every freeware that you are about to install. Before starting its installation process, we highly recommend reading EULA, Privacy Policy, users reports, and other accessible information about it and find out if there are nothing suspicious that you have to know. After that, it's a must to select Advanced or Custom installation option and carefully monitor the entire process. Of course, it may be that your selected freeware has no additional components. However, commonly various download managers, PDF creators, media players and other free software try to spread unwanted programs and you have to deselect them in order to stay safe. Otherwise, you may start experiencing Media-fire.org redirects, pop-up ads, slow downs and so on.
